Tyson Foods being sued for discrimination

Black workers at a Tyson Food facility in Alabama are suing the company for violations of the 14th Amendment breach of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The meat-packing industry has been very close to this administration (Tyson also initially supported Clinton) who have helped the industry grow by lax labor, safety and health standards laws, not to mention business practices that have been very unfriendly to small suppliers. The allegations in this case are disgusting but these companies have enjoyed free reign under this administration which cares more for big corporates than average people, as we well know.

A group of black workers is suing the world's largest poultry meat producer, accusing it of tolerating a racist workplace where African Americans were routinely abused and a "whites only" sign was pinned to the lavatory door.

...the workers allege that the lavatory was padlocked and only white workers were given a key, that workers hung a noose in one of the recreation rooms and annotated a picture of monkeys with the names of black staff. When the workers complained, they say the plant manager told them the facilities had been locked because they were "nasty, dirty [and] behaved like children".

Tyson Foods was one of several meat-packing companies highlighted by a report earlier this year by Human Rights Watch, which said jobs in the meat industry were among the most dangerous in the US. It said: "Dangerous conditions are cheaper for companies, and the government does next to nothing."
